Hail Shearer - Page 6

Definitely not shearers fault! C'mon, the man if anything brought the club as close as he could to safety but i dont think even the best manage could inherit a team in the last three with 5 games from relegation and expect to have much chance, in the end it is down to what the players that you have can do for you, and the way the ball breaks for you on the day. Shearer inherited a team without much spirit who had just lost a great goalkeeper and was struggling to get the best out of their players. While some players like Duff responded really well, others like Owen just seemed to have their mind on the next move out of Toon Town and to somewhere with Prem Football next year.

Shearer did what he could do and that was get the fans behind the team for a last desperate push and hope that that would ignite something in the team itself.. it didnt happen, but thats life and to be honest i wouldnt be against him staying at the club and working on building it up.. he seems to come across quite well in the press conferences and i saw a huge improvement in their set pieces alone by his third match in charge... he just didnt have enough time. I say also that if they want to save money shearer would also be the best and cheapest option right now and this would look well towards the players who they will ask to take a cut in pay...

Whoever is manager next season will have a busy summer. Just the transfers will take up a lot of time, then you have to build a new team. And then get them to play together. I don't think Shearer is the man for that but then I don't have the geordie blind faith

I wish them well (as long as The Owls get 6 points out of it)

What's the difference between Newcastle United & Alan Shearer?

Alan Shearer will still be on Match of the Day next season.

Wondering what the Geordie reaction would be to Kevin Keegan returning to Saints as manager?

This rumour has been knocking around for a while, but today it's gone absolutely mental.
To be honest I didn't believe it, but as the day as gone on I've gotten carried away.

MLT as Chairman and KK as Manager (or even DoF?)
It's dreamland, isn't it?

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but why?

Keegan's not exactly got the best track record at the moment.

Why would he come to a Div 3 team, or why would I want him?
I guess you mean the latter, he did a great job at Fulham and Newcastle the first time round. I think anyone could see that the second stint was doomed to failure with the factors of Wise and Ashley thrown in.

Perhaps football has changed while he was out of the game, I think he even said he gave it a wide birth, didn't even watch it on tv (?)

The Saints rollercoaster has been a rough ride in recent months, if we still have a club at the start of the season I will be pleased, even if it's in L1 on -10. There was a possibility that we would cease to exist.
So, if we had managed to sign up a decent young manager, like Tisdale, it would have been the best we could hope for.

KK & MLT would give the city such a lift I'd just love to see it and give them a chance. I am thinking with my heart rather than my head, but surely if you were offered KK to manage in Div 3 you rip their arm off, no?

If they manage to pull this off I will be amazed, and delighted.
I'd have to make sure I take a trip home for the first game of the season. (Home to Millwall)

good luck to all concerned -he's a decent enough coach, and an honest man. papers and snipers make a lot of his recent time at newcastle; but anybody being fucked-about and lied-to like that and stays on is on a hiding to nothing. it'd be him, not the sorry collection of players he was dumped with, who'd be getting the stick from the usual gobshites for relegation...
